Introducing Grubbs's test for detecting outliers under neutrosophic statistics – An application to medical data

Abstract

Objective: In this paper, we will introduce the designing of Grubbs's test under neutrosophic statistics. The proposed test will be a generalization of Grubbs's test under classical statistics. Method: We will present the designing and the operational procedure of the proposed test under the neutrosophic statistical interval method. Results: The application of the proposed test will be given with the aid of real data from the medical field. Conclusion: From the comparisons, it is concluded that the proposed test is more effective, informative and flexible than the existing Grubbs's tests.
